The SignWriting Literacy Project For Deaf Students

Literacy For The Born-Deaf

 

Did You Know?...

Sign Language is Beneficial for Everyone!

It has been proven through research that both Deaf and Hearing Children learn language faster if they use Sign Language at an early age...

And even hearing adults benefit from learning how to sign in so many ways...

SignWriting provides the "written form" for any Sign Language. Sign Languages are becoming "written languages" because of SignWriting.

The funding that comes from your car donations will help Deaf children learn to read and write in both signed and spoken languages...

So we say a BIG THANK YOU to the Teddy Bear Cops Program, which is sponsored by the National Association of Police and Lay Charities, for providing funding for the SignWriting Literature Project!

And many thanks to you too, for your car donations, which makes all this possible... ;-))

The SignWriting above says THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU in American Sign Language (ASL). See explanation below:

Deaf children already know the sign for THANK YOU, and they read this writing immediately with little or no instruction...This gives them a feeling of self confidence as they learn to read spoken languages. Non-Profit Organization The SignWriting Literature Project is founded by, and sponsored by, the Center for Sutton Movement Writing, a 501c3 educational non-profit organization located in La Jolla, California. The Center was founded by SignWriting inventor Valerie Sutton in 1974, receiving California tax-exempt status in 1976 & Federal exemption in 1978
